She ran off with Phelia & Sinny. I Miss all three of them around here.

I'm too new here to remember Phelia or Sinny, but I also miss Ally. She didn't even say goodbye...

My (UK-based) advice on whether a secondhand book has any value has been posted:

http://www.literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?url=valuing-books

It was written to help charity shop volunteers decide which donated books need to be looked at by their specialist valuer i.e. me as a professional secondhand book dealer of 20 years experience.

Note: 'secondhand' bookdealer, not antique, antiquarian nor collectable. I knew and know enough to decide whether I need specialist advice from an expert in the particular field.

When I started collecting books, advice on what was or might be valuable was very difficult to obtain. In the 1970s onwards price guides began to be published but they were erractic, flawed and sometimes just wishful thinking.

Since the massive shift to trading secondhand books on the internet, values are easier to assess, but also values have dropped because more copies can be compared at once. A book that might have been worth fifty pounds in shop in the late 1990s is probably selling for twenty pounds now - because you can access a copy from multiple dealers.

Precis of my advice: It's probably worth more to you for sentimental value than it will ever be worth if you want to sell it.
